Our beloved Olivia Segura Nichols , gained her Angel wings at the fulfilled age of 95 on April 25th, 2019 to begin her new journey with our Lord. Born on April 20, 1924 to Juanita Ontiveros and Gumercindo Segura in Valentine, Texas.

She is preceded in death by the love of her life Leon W. Nichols, her daughters and son: Irma

Olivia married a young soldier who was stationed in Fort Bliss on September 20, 1950, in

Roswell, New Mexico. They enjoyed 54 years of life together and through this union came 4

beautiful children and 4 adopted children. .

Olivia was a very extraordinary women, who endured many obstacles throughout her life. She

cheated death in 1961 and became a cancer survivor 3 times over only to continue on her

journey here with her family whom she loved immensely. She taught us many lessons,

especially that family is very important, and having a good time is equally important and above

all just to enjoy life each and every day. The love she shared with her grandchildren and great

grandchildren can never be replaced. Her passions were giving back to her church, (Altar

Society and Bazaars) local elementary schools (tutored ESL children) and the Segura

McDonald VFW Post 5615 also Davis Seamon VFW Post 812. Her passion for life was like no

other, she loved to dance and enjoy a cold one, with family and friends.

Olivia is survived by her daughter Mary Lou Nichols Hernandez (Art), son Eddie Nick Nichols

(Marianna), daughter Jacqueline A. Nichols and son Jamiel A. Nichols and 12 grandchildren, 18

great grandchildren and 1 great great grandson.

The family would like to acknowledge her personal caretakers for the last 5 years, who were

with her till the end: Carmen Jacquez, Yolanda Guerrero and Lina Perez. The family would also

like to thank the Nursing Staff at Sierra Medical Center 4th floor and extend a very deep

gratitude to Hospice El Paso, who through our mothers final weeks offered her loving care and

support for the family.

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven, where the love of our lost ones shine down to let us know they are happy.”

We love you and you will continue to live within on our hearts forever and ever until we meet again!
